Fee increase plans in
preliminary stages
Increases possible if two-year student fee freeze is lifted
By MARTTAWASHA
SteffWriUr
In anticipation ofapossible lift
on the two-year student fee freeze
in the UNC system, UNCG offi-cial!
havemadeprebminary plans
to request an $80increase in fees.
"At this point in time, the two
year freeze in student fees is still
in effect. We are hopeful that the
General Assembly will remove
that freeze later this spring or
early summer," said Phil
Richman, sssorieto vice chancel-lor
for finance.
According toJames Allen, vice
chancellor for student affairs, if
the freeze is lifted and the pro-posed
increases approved, the
increases will be broken down
intoa $46 increase in theStudent
AthleticFee anda $36increasein
the Student Activities Fee.
The increases are in part due
to the shiftofCampusRecreation
from the Athletic Budget to the
StudentActivities Budget. Origi-nally,
Campus Recreation was
part of the Athletic Budget, but
as of nextyear will become part of
the Student Activities Budget
Hie transfer was suggested in
1990, but the fee freeze hindered
tins proposal.
"Hie University has recom-mended
for the past two years
that General Administration
make this change so that the Ath-letic
Fee includes only that
amount allocated for inter-colle-giate
athletics,1' Allen said.
Yet, ' the approximately
$332,000 allotted toCampus Rec-reation
will not be moving from
the Athletic Budget Respectively,
this will cause a deficitof$332,000
in the Student Activities Budget.
The $36 increase in tile Student
Activity Fees will be used to com-pensatefor
this deficit, Allen said.
Essentially, this means that
tentatively, student organizations
will not receive any of the in-creased
StudentFees, said Chuck
Brewer, president of Student
Governmentand Chairmanofthe
Fee Advisory Committee.
1 support the increase in fees
simply because the fee freeze has
not allowed the University to of-fer
students growth in programs
that should accompany a school
of this caliber,* Brewer said.

Deck will require
extra charges

Students and faculty wishing
to use the new parking deck will
fees charges in addition to that of
a parking sticker.
When the deck opens in late
December, those wishing to use
the deck on a permanent basis
will have to purchase deck access
cards in addition to a parking
sticker. The access cards will be
sold by the Parking and Traffic
Office (PTO).
"More than likely, access cards
will be sold on a first-come, first-serve
basis," said Ken Honeycutt
of the PTO.
Standard parking sticker fees
are frozen at$150. The cost ofthe
access card, as reported at the
Board ofTrustees meeting, is ex-pected
to cost an additional $6.26
per month, bringing the total cost
for use to $226 per year.
The parking deck is being built
and payed for by PTO to
parking by adding more spaces
and to provide spaces for visitors
on a pay per hour, or pay per day
basis, according to Honeycutt.
Expected costs for visitors or
those without stickers and access
cards are $0.76 per hour and $6
per day.
The new facility will have 811
spaces, 650 for use with an access
card, and the remaining 161 re-served
for hourly or dairy rates.
Another feature of the deck is
its security, which is ofconcern to
students.
"More than the acceptable
amount of candle power will be
used," said Honeycutt, "It will be
as bright or brighter than any
parking facility in the area."
The deck will also be equipped
with surveillancecameras. Emer-gency
phones with direct lines to
Campus Police will be placed on
each floor ofthe deck, as well asa
24 hour attendant on duty.
